Flancer’s Gourmet Grub restaurant, an advocate for giving back to the community, is pleased to announce its 16th annual Charity Pizza-eating Contest, set for Sunday, April 10.
Since the startup, Flancer’s has done its part to promote awareness and help raise funds to support those local organizations needing assistance most. Last year, Flancer’s, along with the help of generous sponsors, raised more than $30,000 to benefit Warfighter Sports, Sunshine Acres and Jewish Family and Children’s Services. This year, Flancer’s will raise funds for these worthy organizations once again.
“There are two ways we are asking the community to take part in rallying around these causes,” said Jeff Flancer, owner and chef of Flancer’s Gourmet Grub. “Visit either Flancer’s Gourmet Grub, in Mesa or Gilbert, to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win one of six prizes valued up to $1,000.”
Another way to help is by signing up for the pizza-eating contest, which takes place on Sunday, April 10. Registration begins at 10:15 a.m., and the feasting ensues at 11 a.m. The contestant finishing in first place will receive a $100 gift card and a large trophy. In addition, Chelsea Myers, the reigning Miss Arizona, will crown the winner.
